Book #4 of 2023 - You’re Invited by Amanda Jayatissa.
This is a juicy who-did-what-and-why tale - and the ending was quite unexpected.
Amaya receives an email inviting her to the wedding of her ex-best friend (Kaavi) to her ex-boyfriend(Spencer). She decides to go home to Sri Lanka to participate in the wedding festivities, but NOTHING goes according to plan - hers, Kaavi’s or Spencer’s.
The author does a great job of giving just enough of the story to keep you guessing and the juicy background gossip is delicious! I could totally see this adapted to film! Great story, characters and ending! 4/5 stars
